A break in the cold weather an we are at 60 degrees today so I had to take a spin...
On pavement or hard surface, the Shinko has a noticeable bumping or tapping feeling as it lands peak to peak on the horizontal knobs across the face of the tread. They are 1.5 inches apart, repeating pattern 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3 knobs across as it rolls. But up at speed it turns into a vibration. The DSport is much smoother by comparison
Off road, OMG what a difference The tires grab like velco now front and rear. It takes real work to break it loose. The Storm is transformed from dual sport to dirt bike.
This was a quick test. I can't wait to take it into the woods!
